My top is pretty sad. Where is the place to get a new top done in STL?

Did you make any headway on getting your top replaced? Most of our tops are in mint condition so I'm not very experienced in this topic. I've had mine replaced on my first S back in 2001 under warranty. Took it to Ed Napleton who outsources it to Express Upholstery Services. They actually did an impressive job. To was tight and had a good fit.

If you are up for a (and not scared of) weekend DYI project, a top replacement is not that difficult but very tedious and mundane. You just have to take your time. I would guess it takes about 10 hours and a lot of patience. You can pick up a new top for around $450-$500. I would suggest Robbins.

Sorry I'm not more help

Were you able to find a shop? I'm in the market for getting a new soft top and really debating if I should drive it down to Dallas or Charlotte since I'm super paranoid about a good/quality install. Would love to skip the 10+ hour drive if it can be done properly locally...

You might check with @ntenseone in Springfield. I believe he has done a few soft top replacements.

I had forgotten all about this post! My top is worse than ever. Anyone have any luck with a shop in town? If not, I may have to go the DIY route.
